Chapter 2265 Preparing for Difficulties

Since human beings entered modern society, various disciplines have established their own societies, such as the International Society of Physics, the International Society of Chemistry, the International Society of Mathematics, etc. Correspondingly, each country has also established its own societies, and medicine as and For the discipline with the closest relationship with human beings, the establishment of a medical society has naturally become a matter of course.

Roughly count the establishment times of various societies in China: the Chinese Mathematical Society was established in 1935, the Chinese Physical Society was established in 1932, the Chinese Chemical Society was also established in 1932, and the Chinese Medical Association was established as early as 1915 in the original history , was established much earlier than other societies.

Of course, the Chinese Medical Association was not the earliest society established. As early as 1909, a group of scholars and famous gentry gathered in a courtyard in Hebei District, Tianjin, China (near the present Tianjin Academy of Fine Arts) and organized the establishment of a society. To promote the development of geoscience research and academics in China, the Geological Society of China, the predecessor of the Geological Society of China, was established.

The reason is that with the development of modern science and technology, the previous scientific research work alone can no longer meet the needs of social development. Scientists need a platform for communication and collaboration to find like-minded people on issues of common concern To carry out exchanges and cooperation, so various societies came into being.

These associations have played an important role in the history of mankind. Those outstanding scientists have sparked inspiration through the exchange of associations, thus pushing mankind forward. The most famous of them is probably the Fifth Solvay Conference.

At this meeting, the debate between Einstein and Bohr shocked the world. Einstein's sentence "God does not play dice" has become an eternal classic in the history of physics. The photos of Heisenberg, Debye, Prague, Dirac, de Broglie, Bonn, Bohr, Planck, Marie Curie, Lorenz, Einstein, Langevin and other masters are known as the Group photo with the highest average IQ.

In the past, the medical community in China was not closely connected, and it was still at the stage of fighting alone. At most, it used the relationship between individuals and their own schools and hospitals to seek cooperation. The efficiency of scientific research was not high, so the establishment of the Chinese Medical Association became very difficult. What is necessary, Shen Long also wants to work with Wu Lien-teh to make the Chinese Medical Association come into being earlier.

It is easy to set up an association, just gather a few people and wait for a statement in the newspaper, but it is not easy to make this association a bridge connecting the medical circles across the country, there must be someone who has a great influence in the medical field to lead, so In order to attract top domestic scholars to join this organization.

Because of their outstanding contributions in the prevention and control of the Northeast plague, Shen Long and Wu Lien-teh are now very famous in the medical field. If they are willing to take the lead, there will be no shortage of people who will respond. From the letters Wu Lien-teh and Shen Long received during this period Look, there are already many influential masters in the medical field responding, and it should not be a problem to successfully hold the first meeting.

"Since it is the Chinese Medical Association, it is natural that representatives from the medical community across the country should be invited to attend this conference.

So they have to be given enough time to prepare, at least three months in advance to announce the time and location of the meeting in the newspaper, plus the time for early preparations, this year will definitely not work, and next year will be the soonest! As for the funds required during the preparation period, let me put it aside first, and then apply for funds from the government. "Even next year, it will be three years earlier than the original history.

You need money for everything, and you should apply for the money from the Ministry of Health, but now that the government of the Republic of China has just been established, and everyone is busy fighting for power and profit, who has the time to worry about it? Fortunately, Shen Long has plenty of money, so it's not difficult to solve this problem. You can get on the bus first and then make up for the fare.

"Summer and winter are not conducive to travel, so it's better to hold it in spring. April and May are more suitable." Wu Liande thought for a while, and agreed to Shen Long's suggestion, "As for the location, let's put it in Wuhan? So that representatives from the southeast and northwest come here It is more convenient to participate.”

Wuhan is the center of the country, and has the advantages of railway and Yangtze River water transportation, which is convenient for representatives to go there. However, Shen Long did not choose Wuhan. "We established the Chinese Medical Association not only to strengthen internal ties, but also to strengthen the relationship with foreign medical circles. When the time is fixed, we can invite some foreign experts to attend the meeting and give speeches to show everyone the latest research results of the international medical community, so it seems more appropriate to put it in Shanghai.”

Wu Lien-teh is a Ph.D. from the University of Cambridge. British medicine is now the most advanced in the world. He can invite some experts to attend this conference. Although Shen Long has stayed abroad, he has been publishing articles in top international medical journals over the years He maintains close correspondence with many scientists. If he sends out invitations, many people will be willing to come.

In addition, they also met a lot of people at the Plague Conference in Northeast China before, so it is not a problem at all to invite foreign experts to participate in the conference.

"It's good to put it in Shanghai." Wu Liande agreed to Shen Long's suggestion, so although the time for the establishment of the Chinese Medical Association has been advanced, the location of the establishment has not changed.

"It may not be easy to deal with the China Bo Medical Association. They were established earlier, and there are many people from the medical field who participated in the meeting. They have made great contributions to the unification and standardization of medical rankings. If they oppose it, things will not be very good. It's done." Wu Lien-teh said, "And Mr. Sun has also studied at the Boji Hospital founded by Mr. John Jia, the founder of the Bo Medical Association. I am afraid that the government of the Republic of China will not support us to stand up and fight against the Bo Medical Association."

Dr. Johann Jia established a western medicine school in Guangzhou, trained the first generation of western medicine doctors for China, treated more than 700,000 patients in his lifetime, performed nearly 50,000 operations, trained 150 western medicine doctors, and compiled 34 medical books , is widely respected by people, although he has passed away now, the Bo Medical Association he founded still has a lot of influence, and the Bo Medical Association has indeed made outstanding contributions to the development of Chinese medicine.

Since the introduction of Western medicine to China, due to translation reasons, many terms in anatomy, pharmacology, pathology, etc. clearly have the same meaning, but there have been different translations. This will undoubtedly greatly affect China’s learning of Western medicine. s efficiency.

The Bo Medical Association solved this problem by compiling and publishing "Vocabulary of Disease Terms", "Ophthalmology Terms", "Disease Glossary", "Anatomy Glossary" and "Physiological Terms", which can be said to have contributed a lot.

"If you think about it seriously, it's actually not that serious."
